The disaster has also left families anxiously waiting for information about relatives stranded in the affected region. Among those missing are US citizens and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) cardholders Deepak Ahuja, 60, and his wife Madhu Ahuja, 57.
More than 170 people have been killed and hundreds remain missing after devastating flash floods struck the Nepal-Tibet border region on Wednesday, with nearly 300 Indian nationals, including Kailash Mansarovar pilgrims, among those unaccounted for.
Rescue operations continue
Nepalese authorities have recovered 177 bodies so far, while search and rescue operations continue across the Himalayan border region. Severe flooding, landslides and mudslides have caused widespread destruction near the Gyirong immigration port, a key crossing between Tibet and Nepal.
An avalanche of ice and rock, believed to have been triggered by a glacial lake outburst, is suspected to have caused the floods.
